BACKGROUND

1. Field of the Application

The disclosure is directed to the field of jewelry and accessory organization, security and display. More specifically the disclosure is directed to a collapsible, foldable accessory organization, with security features and detachable transportation system.

2. Background of the Disclosure

Devices have long existed for storage of jewelry and accessories. Typically these devices consist of jewelry boxes which are rigid and manufactured of opaque material with limited segregated storage space and which pose the problem of not being able to readily visually identify the pieces of jewelry one is looking for due to pieces being stacked one on top of the other in a disorganized form. Further due to the rigid nature of the jewelry box, it may not be collapsed for easy transportation or storage.

Many owners of jewelry and accessories travel from one location to another for business or personal purposes and bring the jewelry along with them on these trips. To date, the packing, unpacking and safe storage of these jewelry and accessories has been a time consuming and tedious process as multiple items of different types such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, watches, brooches, hair/clothing accessories and the like are individually manipulated. These items get tangled together and disorganized as well as may fall out of the currently available jewelry organization devices during travelling.

Other jewelry storage devices currently existing allow for organization of the jewelry in a flexible, hanging device with pockets for easy viewing and storage of jewelry but these devices do not allow for storing the jewelry in such a way that it is hidden and not readily visible to intruders entering the premises with the purpose of stealing valuables. Furthermore other flexible foldable jewelry organization and storage devices do not allow for hidden storage of the jewelry/accessories in an organized manner in removable modules which can then be transferred as separate travel totes for transportation with only the jewelry needed for a specific trip stored therein.

Therefore, what is needed in the industry is a jewelry/accessory system capable of storing multiple types of accessories in an organized manner, which also can be hidden and not readily visible to individuals targeting jewelry to steal. Further, what is needed is a system with at least one removable module, so that the module can store a desired subset of jewelry on them ready to be removed and transported as a separate travel tote during trips.

SUMMARY

In certain embodiments, an apparatus for secure accessory organization and transportation includes at least two outer exposed layers, wherein at least one of the outer exposed layers configured to receive one or more accessory display and storage modules, a foldable inner hidden layer disposed within the at least two outer exposed layers and configured to receive one or more travel purses containing organized sets of accessories, and one or more foldable, compact display and storage containers configured to receive one or more display and storage modules or one or more accessory items and configured to be stored securely on the inner hidden layer so that the storage containers and/or accessory items are not readily visible to an observer.

In certain embodiments, a method for making an apparatus for secure accessory organization and transportation includes obtaining desired materials, cutting materials into one or more pre-defined shapes, wherein the one or more pre-defined shapes include an inner hidden layer and one or more outer layers, coupling an inner hidden layer within one or more outer layers, and coupling connectors to the inner hidden layer and at least one of the one or more outer layers.

Pockets 114 can also be configured with hook and look closures to keep pockets 114 in the closed position. Alternatively, pockets 114 can have a top opening configured with fastening mechanisms such as zips, snap closures, ties, interlocking tabs and slots or any other similar fastening mechanisms to prevent the jewelry/accessories from falling out of pockets 114 during transportation.

FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary front view of an inner hidden layer 206 of an accessory organization, secure storage and transportation system 100 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 2, inner hidden layer 206 can include two opposing fabric layers of the same or different construction and/or color which can be coupled together by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the two opposing layers together. Inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is a layer separate from outer exposed dress layer 104 as shown in FIG. 2 or inner hidden layer 206 can be configured such that it is located on the opposite, inner side of outer exposed dress layer 104 Inner hidden layer 206 can include a panel made of but not limited to cardboard, plastic sheeting, interfacing or other supporting material which is housed between the two opposing fabric layers and kept in place by stitched seams 220 which keep the two opposing fabric layers coupled to each other. Alternatively seams 220 can be made by sewing, gluing or stapling the two opposing fabric layers together. Such a construction segments inner hidden layer 206 into one or more portions 226 which can give structure to flexible accessory system 100 during folding, allowing each of the one or more segments to be folded into a more compact package for transportation. This type of construction further cushions the jewelry and accessories and reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during storage and transportation.

According to certain embodiments, the panel can alternatively be made of polyurethane foam, polyester batting or any other material that can provide the rigidity necessary to allow accessory system 100 to be folded in such a manner as described. Seams 220 separating the portions of inner hidden layer 206 containing the panels can be spaced at vertical intervals 222 of 2 inches apart to facilitate folding. Alternatively, this distance can be varied based on the number and width of portions 226.

Inner hidden layer 206 further can include one or more hook and loop strip(s) 224 coupled to inner hidden layer 206 permanently by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing hook and loop strip(s) 224 onto inner hidden layer 206. Alternatively hook and loop strip(s) 224 can be coupled in a removable manner to inner hidden layer 206 by a magnet on both surfaces or any similar method of attachment. Hook and loop strips 224 can be configured to receive a corresponding hook and loop surface located on one or more jewelry dress travel purses (shown in FIGS. 3, 8, 9 and 10) so as to couple the travel purse(s) to inner hidden layer 206. In this way, any of travel purses 850 (shown in FIG. 8) or 1050 (shown in FIG. 10) containing several pieces of jewelry is stored safely in an inconspicuous manner on hidden layer 206 of accessory system 100.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exemplary front view of inner hidden layer 206 of an accessory organization, secure storage and transportation system 100 with travel purse 850 (as shown in FIG. 8) in an open configuration coupled to it, and another travel purse 850 (as shown in FIG. 9) in a closed configuration coupled to inner hidden layer 206 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 3, one or more travel purses 850 (as shown in FIG. 8) containing jewelry/accessories can be coupled to inner hidden layer 206 of accessory system 100 in a removable manner so as to allow for storage within accessory system 100. Travel purse(s) 850 can then also be removed and transported separately with all the jewelry stored therein in an organized and easily accessible manner. Travel purse 850 illustrates how the different types of jewelry/accessories can be stored in travel purse 850 in both an open and a closed configuration.

In accessory system 100′s hanging configuration, inner hidden layer 206 and any travel purses stored thereon are not readily visible to an observer. This configuration provides greater security for the pieces of jewelry/accessories stored in travel purse(s) 850 and/or 1050 (shown in FIG. 10) on hidden layer 206 as these pieces will not be readily visible to anyone approaching the location of accessory system 100 for the purpose of stealing jewelry/accessories. Travel purse(s) 850 and/or 1050 and any jewelry stored therein will be hidden on inner hidden layer 206, located under outer exposed dress layer 104. Accessory system 104 will thus only give the impression of no more than a small pretty dress hanging on a hanger in the closet.

FIG. 4 illustrates an exemplary side view of an accessory organization, secure storage and transportation system 100 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 4, accessory system 100 can be narrow in thickness, measuring approximately 1 inch or less with nothing stored on inner hidden layer 206 and approximately 1 inch or greater with inner hidden layer 206 having one or more travel purses 850, 1050 and/or one or more of jewelry tabs 530, 630, 730 and/or 1130 stored thereon, thus making it substantially 2-dimensional in shape and further bolstering the appearance of just a dress with nothing being stored on its interior. Accessory system 100 from the side view looks substantially flat thereby not making it obvious to an observer that accessory system 100 has hidden interior storage.

FIG. 5A illustrates an exemplary front view of a jewelry earrings, necklaces, and bracelets tab 530 according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 5A, tab 530 is made of a flexible yet sturdy material layer 536 such as but not limited to felt or velvet. Layer 536 is folded in half so as to allow a proximal end 538 and a distal end 540 of layer 536 to be side-by-side as opposing ends—each end having a corresponding hook and loop closure material thus allowing proximal end 538 to fasten to distal end 540. Alternatively, other types of closures can be used including ties, interlocking tabs and slots, snap closures, or any other similar closures. This configuration creates a closed loop on tab 530 in which jewelry such as but not limited to bracelets, necklaces or watches can be hung between the inner opposing felt layers 542. According to certain embodiments, a mesh layer 532 can be coupled to the front side of layer 536 by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing mesh layer 532 to layer 536 of tab 530.

FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary view of a jewelry dress travel purse 850 in an open configuration according to certain embodiments. As shown in FIG. 8, travel purse 850 can include two opposing fabric layers—the first layer being an outer layer 960 (visible in the closed position as shown in FIG. 9) and the second being an inner layer 852 (visible in the open position). Opposing fabric layers 960 (shown in FIGS. 9) and 852 can be of the same or different construction and/or color and can be coupled together permanently by sewing, gluing, stapling or any method of fusing the two opposing layers together. Travel purse 850 also can include a panel made of but not limited to cardboard, plastic sheeting, interfacing or other supporting material which can be housed between two opposing fabric layers 852 and 960 in each of section A and section B and kept in place by stitched seams 820 which give travel purse 850 some rigidity and keep opposing fabric layers coupled to each other in such a way as to define at least two distinct portions A and B. Alternatively seams 820 can be made by sewing, gluing or stapling the two opposing fabric layers together. Such a construction segments the inner layer 852 into at least two distinct portions A and B and gives structure to flexible travel purse 850 during folding. This allows each of two or more segments A and B to be folded over each other in travel purse 850′s closed position (shown in FIG. 9) for storage and transportation. This type of construction further cushions the jewelry and accessories and reduces the likelihood of their being damaged during storage and transportation.

According to certain embodiments, the panel can alternatively be made of polyurethane foam, polyester batting or any other material that can provide the rigidity necessary to allow the jewelry system to be folded in such a manner as described. The seams 820 separating section A and section B (at least one of which contains a panel) can be spaced a vertical distance C of one half of an inch apart to facilitate folding. Alternatively, this distance can be varied based on the number of sections like A and B and length of such portions.

According to certain embodiments, inner layer 852 can be made of any variety of one or more flexible materials such as—but not limited to—felt, woven fabrics, knit fabrics, non-woven fabrics, leather, artificial leather, vinyl, flexible composites, coated fabrics, or any other similar materials.
